Bicep shorthead looks great, delt and lat striation is impressive. Also waist look very sexy That pic has me curious as to what your tat is. Did I mention your complexion and skin health is great...gotta be all those fresh veggies and fruits

As for work, I saved a lot of cash awhile back and can afford to work a cruise 2 day a week job at a nationally-owned locally operated bodybuilding/vitamin store. So I getting in a week long cardio/workout routine is easy breezy.

I work 4 days a week and have a 2 yr old son...so makes getting to the gym a bit tricky. Plus I get tired a lot.I want to retrain really...and go back into food/nutrition and vegan consultancy. Not much call for it though, that's the problem!

I'd like to have a cafe/bistro serving only vegetarian and vegan food. As well as vegan products such as jackets, belts and shoes. Maybe even some vegan specfic candy (we call it sweets).

I just bought myself a 'fake leather' vegan jacket. It's really cool, bomber jacket style.Really looks like leathr and it's really warm too! Just what I need in this weather.

Anyway, I'm turning in now, the toddler monster will be waking me up at stupid o'clock tomorrow!

I'll try and get a pic of my tat!

Not too much as got talking to the fitness guy in the gym.Pretty good news really, he has just started a business with a frined, the friend does massage and he does the personal fitness training.They're after someone to join them from time to time giving talks on vegan and vegetarian nutrition. I'd better get my skates on with some study to finish my nutrition consultant diploma, so I get on and do the Vegan and Vegetarian Nutrition Consultant Diploma (level 3)This is really where I want to be....not in the charity work I'm doing now, it's draining me of my passion dayby day.

The trainer from the gym also asked if I would be prepared to write a testimony with a couple of pix! He said I would be a fine advertisement for a vegan female body builder, and felt it would encourage more women to get into it. Cool or what, I felt really honoured.....and buzzing!!

I was at the gym,and amazingly have upped my over head shoulder press, free weights to 2 x 6kg dumbells, 3 sets of 8!!! That's a whole total of a 2kg increase!!! I was so pleased. Plus, I went a did my free weights reps with a ll the big boys in the specific area of the gym, rather than taking the weights I want and going away to a different corner. I felt soooooo confident. But I guess all of that was after one of the trainers asked me about my vegan diet..and my approch to strenght training. I told him I was planning to do a Vegan Fitness Nutrition Course so I can advise others. Then HE said, well when you finished it...come and speak to me cos him and a friend are opening a free weights core strength training studio and want to provide some holisitc stuff for clients. PLUS he said they want to use me for pix and a testimony to show vegans and veggies how it's possible to weight train with such a diet!!! And they want me write something up for them to use as, and I quote " you're obviously in good shape, care about your body...and are great advert for any woman who wants to get into body building"!!!! OMG howcool was that. Ifelt really honoured and extremely flattered.

Also, I'm getting good in pull up training on the bars. I can do 10x1 sets of slow drop down from rasied position...in prep for when I can lift myself up from lowered.

Gym tonight, so I'll dropin to update later. Off work now! V tired as completed a 5000 word project last night for uni!!

Day 2 of training (officially)Well,I’m finding the food intake changes a bit difficult! It’s a lot for me…but I’m trying. I having quite a bit more protein…and more frequent meals. I just about fit in 2/3rds of what I was supposed to have. Not bad!!I’ve managed a full weights workout:

Meal in china town - big plate of tofu, and I mean big! For me anyway, prob about 250g tofu! Asked for it not to be deep fried as per the menu...no rice or noodles! Had plent of carb in the energy bar.

Lots of water whilst out..Then a salad platter before bed..no dressing.
